Library

Welcome to the Library!

The school library is a friendly learning environment supportive of students' learning and recreational reading needs. Students are encouraged to become independent information users through weekly library lessons, class work and lunchtime library activities. Our library contains the school computer, laptops, iPads, a smartboard and the connected classroom capability to provide ample opportunities for developing information technology research skills and video conferencing experiences.

The library is also a great meeting place at lunchtime for craft, board games, computer activity and being with friends.

In addition to developing information literacy the library encourages students to become enthusiastic readers of literature. Our fiction collection which is divided into sections assisting students in their selection of suitable reading choices. The informal atmosphere of cushions and lounging areas provide a quiet refuge from the noise of the school playground.

All our students from Kindergarten to Year 6 participate in the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge with a high completion rate.

When opportunities present, storytellers, authors and illustrators are invited to our school to provide new insights into the world of children's literature.

Our Children's Book Week Parade and Book Fair are not to be missed school highlights each alternate year.
